About Me
Charles Bernard Maclean, PhD, is a donor advocate and founder of PhilanthropyNow. He lives in a cohousing community in Portland, Oregon where it's "Cooler, Greener, Kindler and Gentler" and we're "harder on the issues add softer on the people".
For a decade he has served as a committed listener and donor centric action researcher and Samtalpartner (Swedish for you and I as equals going beyond coaching and consulting to a deeper commitment to what's needed most by your stakeholders).
A colleague called him, "the connective tissue in the body of giving and asking . . . bringing together good people, good projects, good resources for good results."
He has just released the pithy inquiry, "Financial Advisors As Guiding Stars to Philanthropic Giving? - Tips, Tools and Topics For Addressing the Confluences and Conflicts of Interest Between Advisors, Fundraisers and the Client/Donor."
A month working in India evoked in him the desire to develop easy-read profiles for financial advisors, fundraisers and the clergy on: "Why Philanthropy? Religious Leaders Speak Out on Why Give From The Core Spiritual Tenants of Their Faith."
He is the author of the tool kit, “Promoting Donor Resiliency” . . . Preventing Donor Fatigue" and the "Suite of Giving Support Tools for Financial Advisors, Fundraisers and Donors."
He also traveled for six months from Atlanta to Auckland, Singapore to Sydney, San Francisco to Oshkosh on a philanthropic journey sharing the Philanthropy Now research and training on the "Artful Ethical Ask".
He recently appeared in front of a jury (an artists jury) to show his assemblages of recycled flotsam and jetsam (recycled rare wood and bits of antiques, glass, metal etc). Ideas from kids have been inspirations. And was accepted to the prestigious or is it notorious Portland art, show, "The Cracked Pot".
His favorite quotes are:
"It is through giving and asking that we discover who we are . . . and what matters to us." - PhilanthropyNow interviewee 1998
and
"On the day you die, you will not be judged on how much you gave . . . but by how much you held back." - India proverb
